Not a concours restoration by any means but it cleaned up nicely, new lens from CityRacer completed the build. I figured if nothing else, some good reference photos for anyone that needs them.
the bolts had snapped off when I removed it - a little heat from a MAP torch and they came right out

Reassemble - fortunately, the lens gasket, although a little dry, survived the process with only a slight tear on one side. The irony of the whole exercise is that, due to my roll cage position, the light won't fit
